Teri_Kanefield,

Reporter Stephen Neukam confirmed that a "joint" speakership between Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan is currently being floated.

The Constitution provides that "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers."

In four other places, "the speaker" is singular.

I don't know if "Speaker" can be two people.

I'm not sure how this would work in practice, whether it is even Constitutional, or how it would be challenged.
